As a public health nurse, Stephanie Pizzey knows better than most how COVID-19 vaccines work and how they were developed, and encourages people to take them when offered.
But Pizzey, who is 26 weeks pregnant, isn t getting immunized yet on the advice of her doctor. Initially, I was quite comfortable with getting it because I work a lot with vaccines, said Pizzey. With this one it s a little tricky because it hasn t been researched thoroughly in pregnancy or breastfeeding women.
EDMONTON Alberta Health Services said Thursday afternoon it has seen a significant reduction in COVID-19 outbreaks at Alberta hospitals recently, coinciding with the fall of cases in the community. According to the health authority, in the past week alone, outbreaks were declared over at the University of Alberta Hospital, Leduc Community Hospital, Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital, Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, Foothills Medical Centre, and the Medicine Hat Hospital. A statement provided by AHS called the reduction extremely good news and said it reflects decreasing community transmission and the hard work of frontline hospital teams to apply screenings and adhere to strict infection prevention control and cleaning measures.
